Why do you want a new car?
Before I ever help someone find “the perfect car”, I have to first ask them why they even want a new car. What’s wrong with their old one (if they have one)?
Having gone through numerous car-buying blunders myself, I have some keen insight into reasons NOT to buy a car. But before I get into reasons not to buy a car, let’s delve a little more into why you think you DO want a new car:
Buying Your First Car
Ok, fair enough. You don’t have a car yet. Let’s also assume you also don’t have the option of mass transit to get you to about 80% of the places you need to go weekly. Otherwise, if you could use mass transit (or just plain walk to work or school), I would recommend using a car sharing service like Zipcar (if available) for shorter drives and renting from someone like Enterprise for longer trips.
